Scenario Testing Introduction

Scenario testing is like a "business journey simulation" for real users - it comprehensively verifies the execution quality of complex business processes through multi-step combinations. With AngusTester scenario testing, you can:
✅ Simulate real user operation paths
✅ Identify cross-system interaction issues
✅ Validate exception handling processes
✅ Save 60%+ test design time
✅ Improve 90%+ business scenario coverage

What is Scenario Testing? End-to-End Business Validation

Scenario testing differs from simple functional testing - it's a complete mapping of real user journeys:

Typical Scenario Examples:

🛒 **E-commerce Purchase Flow**:
1. Search product → 2. Add to cart → 3. Fill address → 4. Pay order → 5. Check order status
🏥 **Medical Appointment Flow**:
1. Select department → 2. Choose doctor → 3. Fill medical record → 4. Pay registration fee → 5. Receive appointment notification

VS Traditional Testing:

Comparison Dimension	Traditional Testing	Scenario Testing
Test Scope	Single function point	End-to-end business process
Verification Goal	Functional correctness	Business completeness + User experience
Time Consumption	Short	Medium-long
Value	Basic quality assurance	Business risk prevention

Why Scenario Testing? Five Key Values

1. Discover Integration Black Holes

Problem Case:
Payment succeeds but order not updated → Due to data desync between payment and order systems

Scenario Testing Solution:

2. Validate Exception Paths

Typical Exception Scenarios:

• Order recovery during network interruption
• Alternative solutions for insufficient inventory
• Automatic cancellation for payment timeout

3. Ensure Business Continuity

Checkpoint Resume Capability:

4. Improve Test Coverage

Scenario Coverage Matrix:

Scenario Type	Ratio	Traditional Test Coverage	Scenario Test Coverage
Happy Path	50%	100%	100%
Exception Path	30%	20%	95%
Edge Path	20%	5%	90%

5. Real Environment Simulation

Multi-Environment Support:

Six-Step Scenario Testing Methodology

Step 1: Define Goals - Clarify Verification Objectives

Key Questions:

• What business problem to solve?
• Which user groups to cover?
• Where are the core risk points?

Smart Scenario Template Library (E-commerce/Finance/Healthcare etc.)

Step 2: Process Orchestration - Visual Scenario Building

Four Orchestration Elements:

Step 3: Data Configuration - Real Data Simulation

Data Configuration Methods:

1. **Static Data**: Predefined test data  
2. **Dynamic Generation**: Auto-create test accounts  
3. **Data-Driven**: CSV batch data import  
4. **API Fetch**: Get desensitized data from production

Step 4: Debug & Optimize - Real-Time Troubleshooting

Debug Checklist:

✅ Step sequence rationality  
✅ Logic branch completeness  
✅ Data transfer accuracy  
✅ Assertion coverage sufficiency  
✅ Exception handling robustness

Step 5: Multi-Environment Execution - Flexible Deployment

Environment Strategy Table:

Environment Type	Use Case	Advantage
Test Environment	Daily testing	Flexible control
Staging Environment	Pre-release verification	Close to production
Production Isolation Zone	High-fidelity validation	100% real

Step 6: Smart Analysis - Deep Insights

Three-Dimensional Analysis Model:

Five Typical Application Scenarios

1. Complex Business Process Validation

2. Asynchronous Message Processing

Order Status Update Flow:

3. Multi-System Integration Testing

4. Conditional Branch Coverage (TODO)
